Some of us prefer the old format (and speed) of TER, and have been using this link:

But this notice was posted by Staff:

GOOD BYE CLASSIC - Posted on 9/22/05 by Staff  
As with all great classic’s, this version of TER now needs to fade into history. We would love to maintain both sites, but it is just too expensive. Hopefully you have had time to play with the new site and feel more comfortable.

The classic TER will be taken down on 9/30/2005.

I have found the new site is much more bearable in terms of performance by using Mozilla Firefox.

However, I like the new format because it's innocuous--suitable for the office, library and spousal eye-dropping. I haven't noticed its being slow.

i sent them a note on this with no reply
i do not like the new site at all
and would pay more just to keep the classic
site up and running the new site has to much stuff going on on one page and is all
squeezed together IMO

Is anyone as frustrated as i am since the format has been changed.  I can no longer easily take a look at the picture of the lady in question to see if she looks attractive in my eyes before looking at the individual review.  I am having to leave the website to look into the individual lady's website to see what she looks like.  I am very annoyed with this development. I
hope that this is not going to continue indefinitely!!!!! If any of you hobyists also feel the same way please reply.

I post my reviews using the classic - they show up much faster for some strange reason.

I found a while back that if you went to edit a review after submitting it on the "new" TER ALL the profile data fields would be wiped clean and the long process of filling out every data field from providers name to their performance rating would need repeating. On the "classic" you could make an edit without clearing the entire profile data field. This problem can be very exasperating if a review is "unapproved" for need of an edit such as "bad website" or the like.

I really don't like the new site.  I don't like that guy's picture.  I don't like that I can't see which reviews I've read and which I haven't.  I don't like that I cannot submit problem reports and other similar features (and I have all but turned off every security feature trying).  I don't like that it will not let me add to my favorites list and that I must go back to the classic to do so.  

I feel bad for saying this because I'm sure Staff has worked very hard to make the new site better than the classic and must get pissed off reading threads like this.  It just doesn't work for me.

...much like  I saw no problems in the old "Coke", before they started messing with it.

The new TER is a classic example of fixing a problem that doesn't need it.

Of course, we do get the added benefit of not having automatic text wrap, when we change the size of the window.

However, it does go to show how smart Blaise Pascal was, when he said:

"... I have discovered that all human evil comes from this, man's being unable to sit still in a room...."

Speaking of all human evil, when the Gonzales DOJ finishes its jihad against pornography and prostitution, I would imagine that both the 'classic' and 'new' TER will be just a fond memory.
